1.Expression of survivin in human non-Hodgkin lymphoma and its correlation with proliferation and angiogenesis.
Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Medical Sciences) 2006;26(5):504-7
In order to investigate the expression change of survivin in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and its possible effects on NHL development, the expression of survivin, Ki-67, caspase3 and FVIIIRAg in reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RH) and NHL was detected by immunohistochemical assay, and apoptosis index (AI) in RH and NHL by TUNEL analysis. The results showed that the expression of survivin is significantly higher in aggressive NHL than in indolent NHL (P<0.01), while there was no statistically significant difference between RH and indolent NHL (P>0.05). The expression of survivin had a significantly positive correlation with the expression of Ki-67 and FVIIIRAg (r=0.6495, 0.6635, respectively, both P<0.01), and a negative correlation with the expression of caspase3 and AI (r=-0.5820, -0.6013, respectively, P<0.01). It was suggested that survivin may contribute to the progression of NHL by playing an important role in promoting cell proliferation, inhibiting cell apoptosis and enlisting angiogenesis. Survivin expression is closely related to malignant grade and therefore may be considered an important prognostic factor of NHL.

In order to improve the efficiency and quality of medical services,the authors applied the lean production and system simulation into optimizing the transfusion system of a hospital.By means of describing and analyzing the current situation and problems of a transfusion system of the hospital,the paper presented the cause-effect diagram for overlong patient waiting.5W1H and ECRS were adopted to analyze the infusion processes,while Simio was used to simulate the existing infusion system and simulation data so obtained were used to draw a value stream mapping for the system.In line with the ideas of Shojinka and one stream production,nurses deployment and conveyor speed were reconfigured.Based on these ideas,a reform plan is presented and the simulation method is used to verify the outcomes.The study proved that lean production and system simulation can effectively improve the hospital transfusion system,medical efficiency and medical service level.

In order to investigate the expression change of survivin in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and its possible effects on NHL development, the expression of survivin, Ki-67, caspase3 and FⅧRAg in reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RH) and NHL was detected by immunohistochemical assay, and apoptosis index (AI) in RH and NHL by TUNEL analysis. The results showed that the expression of survivin is significantly higher in aggressive NHL than in indolent NHL (P<0.01), while there was no statistically significant difference between RH and indolent NHL (P>0.05).
